COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Ingredients, determined not to be hazardous according to NOHSC criteria, and not dangerous according to the ADG Code, make up the product concentration to 100%. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Skin Contact: Inhalation: Ingestion: Notes to Physician: Hold eyelid open and flush with water for at least 15 minutes or until all contaminants are washed out completely. If symptoms develop and persist seek medical attention. Flush contaminated skin with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur. Remove the affected person to fresh air. If the victim is not breathing, apply artificial resuscitation. In serious cases of over-exposure, seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth; then drink one or two large glasses of water. Contact a doctor or a Poisons Information Centre (Phone: 13 11 26). No specific treatment. Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam or dry chemical or CO 2. Fire/Explosion Hazards: Special Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Hazardous Decomposition Products: Combustible material. Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water. Contains (distillates [petroleum], solvent-dewaxed heavy paraffinic). Fire fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face piece operated in positive pressure mode. Carbon oxides (CO, CO 2 ), sulphur oxides (SO 2, SO 3, etc). Page 1 of 5 15
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal Precautions: Environmental Precautions: Methods for Cleaning Up: Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment. Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the environment if released in large quantities. Move containers from spill area. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in designated, labelled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact information, Section 8 for personal protective equipment and Section 13 for waste disposal. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Storage: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions/safety data sheet. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container. Store in a well ventilated, dry place. Protect from moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep away from incompatibles, such as strong oxidizing material. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Occupational Exposure Limits: Engineering Measures: Hygiene Measures: Personal Protection Eyes: Hands: Respiratory: Skin: No exposure standard allocated. None required. However, use of adequate ventilation is good industrial practice. Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Recommended: Safety glasses. Recommended: PVC gloves. A respirator is not needed under normal and intended conditions of product use. No special protective clothing is required. Page 2 of 5 15
